Overview
- Speaking via video on Motore Italia's America's Cup edition on Nov. 14, the Napoli president escalated his attack on the international schedule as his squad navigates an injury emergency.
- He cited Rrahmani and Zambo Anguissa as examples of players returning from national duty "sfasciati," with Anguissa reported as seriously injured.
- He proposed allowing clubs to refuse call-ups for mandated windows to protect players who are paid by their teams.
- He called for a transfer-window reopening or direct financial compensation when players are injured while with their national teams.
- He urged fewer teams and fewer matches and accused FIFA and UEFA of disregarding domestic championships, noting these are proposals rather than adopted policies.
